I'm gonna start this post off with an apology - I've had a bad bout with the flu these last few days, and I'm still feeling rather cruddy, so that's why I've been late with the news. Anyway, on with it.
Over at Ownt, there's an interview up with Vince Desi, my personal game-developer role model. Here's a snippet:If there were no rating system on games and nothing holding back any type of gore or adult content, what type of things do you imagine we might see in today's video games or at least "Running With Scissors" titles?
I think a rating system is a good thing, the problem is that retailers are scared to carry controversial titles unless they get big ad guarantees, so the corruption and hypocrisy are not limited to the politicians, lets not forget the major publishers that are nothing more than pimps for sorry ass broke ugly developers. True creativity is a rare animal, so I'm not sure the rating system means that much for real and truly creative folks. I'm very proud of POSTAL not because its shock value but because it succeeds in what we set out to do MAKE PEOPLE HAVE FUN. As for RWS all I can say is if you play or watch POSTAL and don't laugh in the 1st 60 seconds then I blew it, and from all the fan mail we get I think we did pretty good.You can check out the full thing here.
